loganMac Posted April 20, 2024 Share Posted April 20, 2024 my spec: i9-14900K Raptor Lake AMD Radeon RX 580 (Polaris 20) G.Skill Trident 32GB DDR5-6000 Crucial MX500 500GB SATA Asus TUF Gaming Z790-Pro WiFi Intel Raptor Point-S PCH - CNVi: WiFi Controller Realtek ALC1220P / ALC S1220A Realtek RTL8125B I got almost everything to work except 2 issues. 1. Processor name shows as Unknown. 2. Every time when I reboot or shut off and when I power back up, a pop up show "you shut your computer because a problem." As for #1, I tried boot-args --> keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 npci=0x2000 alcid=1 revpatch=sbvmm,cpuname=intel revcpuname=i9 revcpu=1 and not work attach is my config.plist. I remove serial Thank you! config.plist Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/359210-processor-show-as-unknown/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted April 20, 2024 Share Posted April 20, 2024 The processor is really unknown for Apple. You can make it shown as some i5. Second problem can be resolved by replacing VirtualSMC to FakeSMC.

Mirone Posted April 20, 2024 Share Posted April 20, 2024 @loganMac, Fix First problem: Set processorType = 4097 in your SMBIOS. Fix second problem: go to /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports delete all files, or delete those files that are related to the warning. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/359210-processor-show-as-unknown/#findComment-2819281 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirone Posted April 21, 2024 Share Posted April 21, 2024 @loganMac I'm glad you fixed the problems, although the solutions I mentioned are valid and continue to work, but the important thing is to solve the problems.

loganMac Posted April 21, 2024 Author Share Posted April 21, 2024 Thank you for the help. The reason I did clean installation because maybe I did something wrong causing a bug on my side. For me, I don't mine starting fresh because I don't have any app installed on my computer plus I can better track where my mistake started.
